The leg out of Israel and into the London business-aviation system. Very little of the day is decided by the flying: it is decided at the two ends, by a departure that runs under Israeli security procedure and an arrival into the busiest business-aviation field in the United Kingdom. Most parties going this way are travelling towards something with a fixed time attached to it.
REQUEST A QUOTEThree thousand six hundred kilometres, flown westbound. The upper winds over Europe and the eastern Mediterranean blow predominantly from the west, so this direction normally works against them while the return leg has them behind it. The figure below does not try to separate the two - it is one direction-neutral estimate for both. The aircraft is rarely what constrains this pair; the departure window at Ben Gurion and the arrival window in London usually are.
One departure field and two possible arrival fields, and that is the whole of the choice on this direction. Ben Gurion is straightforward provided the paperwork goes in early. The decision worth making before you book is which London field you land at, because that is what sets how long the journey lasts after the aircraft has stopped.
| Airport | Codes | Role | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tel Aviv Ben Gurion | TLV / LLBG | 3 601 km | The departure field, and the point every distance and time on this page is measured from. Israeli security procedure applies to private flights as it does to everything else, so we file passenger details early and agree the handling window with you before the day rather than on the morning. Allow for that when you name the hour you want to leave. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | arrival | Where the sector normally ends: 26,661 business-aviation movements in 2023, fifth in Europe (EBAA 2023), and the deepest choice of long-range aircraft on any given day in the United Kingdom. That depth matters more to your return than to your arrival - what it buys you on landing is ground handling entirely used to this traffic, at whatever hour you get in. |
| Farnborough | FAB / EGLF | arrival alternative | The alternative arrival, and worth asking about when the address you are going to is in Surrey, Hampshire or west London. It is a dedicated business-aviation airport with no scheduled traffic at all, so nothing on the ground is queued behind an airline. Tell us where you are heading after you land and we will quote the field that shortens the drive, not the one that shortens the flight. |

At 3 601 km this is a heavy jet and nothing smaller. Which of the three you actually fly is settled by where an aircraft is standing when you want to leave Tel Aviv rather than by preference: there is no resident heavy-jet fleet waiting at the departure end of this route, so positioning is part of the answer on almost every quotation we write for it.
One of three heavy jets we quote on this sector, and it covers 3 601 km westbound without a stop. Six to nine passengers with luggage is the realistic load on a leg of this length, whichever of the three it turns out to be.
See the Bombardier Challenger 605 ›Also a heavy jet, also comfortable over this distance. What decides between it and the others is what can be within positioning reach of Tel Aviv on your date, not the specification sheet.
See the Gulfstream G450 ›The third of the heavy jets on this page. If you are going out and back inside a few days, ask us what holding the same aircraft costs against buying two separate one-way legs - on this route that comparison changes the type more often than cabin preference does.
See the Falcon 900 ›All types above appear on our own fleet pages. Larger cabins can be arranged for bigger delegations.
From €39 900 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, whole aircraft, rounded. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.
The figure above is our own indicative starting point, taken from the published prices of comparable sectors in our route list rather than from a third-party price page. We print it so that you have a number to test a quotation against, ours included. On a westbound departure the line that moves it most is positioning: an aircraft has to reach Tel Aviv before it can carry you out of it.
| Reference | Aircraft | Indicative price | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole aircraft, one way | Heavy jet | from EUR 39 900 | our own starting price for this sector, consistent with the comparable routes we already publish |
| Empty leg | varies | discounts of 50-75% are the range brokers publish | broker price pages, retrieved 23.08.2026 |
The months below are the European business calendar read from the inbound side. This is the direction that fills up when people need to be in London, not when they need to leave it.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| April to June | Spring is the heaviest inbound stretch. Corporate travel, trade fairs and the start of the summer leisure season pull traffic towards London in the same weeks. | Two to three weeks ahead for a weekday arrival. Give us the hour you have to be at the meeting rather than the hour you would like to take off, and we will work the departure back from it. |
| July and August | Corporate demand falls away while leisure traffic peaks, and aircraft drift towards the Mediterranean coast and the islands - away from the direction you want to fly. | The best weeks of the year to ask whether something is repositioning towards London anyway. Give us a date window rather than a single date and we will watch the movements. |
| September to October | The autumn corporate season, and usually the harder of the two to book into London. | Book early for anything falling in a fair week. If the Luton window you wanted has gone, ask us to price Farnborough honestly before you move the day. |
| November to March | Quieter, with a slow restart in January. Short winter days do more to the schedule than demand does. | Good odds at short notice. If you want to be on the ground in London in the evening, settle it early: the arrival window, not the aircraft, is what stops a late landing. |
